BISSELL - ProHeat 2X Revolution Pet Upright Deep Cleaner - Black/Samba Orange

It took me MONTHS to decide on a carpet cleaner. I spent a lot of time researching the different features & reading all of the reviews. I have a one bedroom apartment with a cream/tan colored carpet. For most of my time in this apartment I've had one foster cat at a time in addition to my own cat. Foster cats can be messy. I've always spot cleaned my carpets, but it was time to do a good deep cleaning. So I needed a machine that was strong enough to get some set in stains. But I wanted something easy to use & easy to store in a small space. I had in the back of my head that I wanted to go with a Bissell because I'm a big fan of the work they do with local animal rescues. But I did research all types of machines. I kept coming back to this one. It has turned out to be everything I wanted & more. PROS: Separate tanks for clean & dirty water, which makes it easier to clean the tanks. A lot of Bissell cleaners have one tank with an internal bladder to separate the water. Very lightweight & easy to maneuver. So easy to use it almost feels like vacuuming. Very powerful & cleaned set in stains like it was nothing. Also so powerful that it fluffed my carpet to look new. Did a good job sucking the water back up out of the carpet. Easy to clean the machine when you're done. CONS: None. Seriously. None.

I wanted to clean the light, grayish-white wall to wall carpet in the upper level of my house, but I also wanted a product that wasn't going to be too heavy. After reading many reviews I decided to try this one since it was on sale at the time, and so far I'm very pleased with it. Filling the clean water tank with water and cleaning solution is simple, but I do have some reservations about the accuracy of the 'fill to' line for the cleaning solution. On my first fill, I used the 'fill to' line on the tank, but then I realized it took about 1/2 of the 8oz complimentary bottle, which is quite a bit more than the suggested 2.5 oz. Not a big deal, but after that I started using the measuring cup that was included. Emptying and replacing the dirty water tank is very quick. After the first room was clean, I decided to wait until the next day to clean the rest of the floors, so I broke the unit down to see how hard it was to clean; it was very simple. The only problem I had was the next day when I was about to finish the second room and realized that I hadn't snapped the brush cover back in place so it was losing suction... which meant about half of the water wasn't recovered. Easy enough to fix, and then I just went over the room again. The carpets look and smell great. There were a few spots in high traffic areas that I had to go over 2-3 times, but eventually they either were gone or were so faint you couldn't really notice them. I did try the hose with the attachments on the stairs, and it did a good job, although I wasn't expecting alot since there was no brush on the attachment. Overall, I'm very pleased with this machine.

Bissell makes the best carpet cleaners ever!! This machine is a miracle cleaner on the dirtiest stains that I had on my carpeting from people tracking in dirt over the winter. My beige colored carpet had a black path of stains from my garage door hallway to the kitchen. Then I used my new Cleaner & with a couple passes of this machine it made my carpeting look brand new. Plus I have a dog who periodically has accidents and it sucked not only the stain out but the smell too. I'm so happy with the purchase of this product. Also, Best Best let me to do a price comparison with Amazon so I got an extra $20 off the price. It was easy to assemble and so easy to use plus lightweight. I'm so excited to clean my bedrooms and try out the upholstery tools to clean my recliners too. I am surely going to get my money's worth out of this machine with having kids and a dog that track in dirt all the time. It's as easy as using a vacuum cleaner to attack stains as soon as they appear. Thank you Bissell and thanks Best Buy!!

Besides the genius design of how the tanks fill, sit nicely on a flat surface, empty and clean, Bissell has gone much further than before by adding true motorized agitation of the carpet for superior results in pulling out the dirt and stains. On top of that, this unit also pumps hot air through the clean tank area to keep it warm! *If that isn't enough, they now have a fully functional hose and attachments to clean furniture and other hard to reach places! (water and suction run through the hose directly). NOTE: do not buy the big bottle of detergent unless it has the yellow quick fill cap. that makes putting the soap in 10 times easier. Upon my first cleaning of a recently cleaned carpet, I pulled out what looked like chocolate milk! This baby works well! I didn't find enough reason for us to own the higher model as the cost is much more, but I see how that model can be easier to clean the rollers and has a better attachment for hose if you do have shedding pets.

This would have been so easy to use, had it worked properly. I wasted so much time cleaning my carpet only to find the dirty water tank empty! The 1st time I used it, it only was about 1/4 full; I thought that was weird. The second time, no suction & an empty tank! The cleaner was only 3 weeks old! There was also wet hair-clumps all over my carpet even thought I vacuumed first. It also seemed to be shooting solution out the rear, even without me pulling the trigger. I did all the troubleshooting suggestions (for no suction) to no avail. Bissell suggested I take it to one of their repair centers; are you kidding?? This was practically brand-new! It was a struggle for me to get a refund from Best-Buy, since they wanted me to go through the manufacturer (Bissell) who, by the way, suggested that if I really wanted a refund to return it to the store where I purchased it! I explained this run-a-round to the store manager, who made an exception & gave me a refund after my 2nd trip there. I read other reviews after the fact. Those who haven't had a problem love it, but those who do have a problem have the exact same problem I've experienced. Don't waste your time with this machine!

I was happily surprised by the good job this carpet cleaner did. I had read the reviews, which were mostly good. That is why I chose this particular machine. It is not bulky .It is about the size of an upright vaccum cleaner. It is easy to assemble.It did a great job for my apartment .I give it 4 and a half stars. The only thing is that you have to make several trips to refill and empty the dirty water container and refill the clean container with solution and water.The water containers are not real big .But machine would be bulky if it had bigger water containers. Therefore, I did not mind having to empty the dirty water container and refill the clean container with solution and water a few times. My carpets and rugs look so much better. It looks better than when I had a professional come out to clean my carpet.I give it not 4 and a half stars. It deserves a 5.I hope that this review helps someone else to make an informed decision. The previous reviews helped me. Which is why I chose this machine.

This is probably my 5th Bissell Steam Cleaner over the last 15 years. I decided not to spend top dollar this time because regardless of the model/price they don't seem to have the longevity to make it worth the investment. PROS: Excellent suction (so far) Light weight Fairly quiet Cleans well CONS: Unlike some of the higher priced models, you mix solution directly into water so there is no way to adjust the solution level as you clean or do a water rinse (without first using up the current water tank) Pet hair is beginning to accumulate in the machine and I can't find an easy way to remove it. I can see this is beginning to affect suction. The tanks are somewhat small. You have to dump the dirty water quite often although there isn't much because the foam from the cleanser causes the machine to sense it being "full".

I purchased this carpet cleaner after returning a more expensive professional brand, that never worked. This carpet cleaner is smaller than my vacuum cleaner. All of the attachments are in a storage bag instead of being on the cleaner, which makes it lighter and easier to store. They have made it exceptionally easy to clean and take care of. The first time I used it, it cleaner better than any other one I have ever used. It has two different settings, 1 for deep cleaning and the other for express cleaning. The only con that I have encountered is that the water reservoirs are smaller than others, it requires a more trips to the sink. On the bright side it keeps it lighter and easier to carry. All in all I would recommend this to anyone especially with kids.
